Last month we visited Snowpark Zermatt. Snowpark Saas-Fee opened its doors a week later and we wanted to see what the park looks like. Since we got word that our interview partner from last year’s issue 41 – Elena Koenz – is currently in Sass-Fee, we sent contributing photographer Kuno Egli to join her for […]

Ahhh, it’s good to be back in Zermatt, enjoying the advantages of summer shredding. Since slush is more forgiving, it’s the perfect time of year to dial in some new tricks. On top of that, you’ve got to appreciate those days when a jacket, and even gloves become optional. With enough practice, you might even […]

More than 200 riders of all ages showed up in Kaprun/Kitzsteinhorn for the 4th Volcom Banked Slalom and enjoyed some of the best powder conditions of the winter. Our Swiss crew with Reto Neiger, Levi Luggen, Fraser Deck, Ivo Gmür and myself was joined by Lichtenstein’s Philippe Nissl and Tito Huber. We enjoyed heavy snowfalls on […]

This past weekend, Nico and Terje hosted the 3rd annual Sudden Rush Banked Slalom. It was once again a fresh gathering of great folks who just wanted to go fast and have a good time. Very much like the previous year, the weather had other plans. High winds forced the lifts to close and heavy […]

While there are plenty of mythic spots in the wide world of snowboarding, there are only a handful of backcountry booters that have earned their own name. Ever wanted to know the deal with the jump known as the Camel Toe? This is the untold story of the biggest backcountry cheese wedge to ever be […]

Vans has been putting on their Hi-Standard series for a few years now, so we were stoked to hear that they were finally coming to Switzerland.
